Professional Development Workshop 2: Promoting Psychoanalysis in 140 Characters or Less: Twitter

Speakers: Chair: Sue Kolod, Ph.D. (New York, NY) Presenters: Michael Donner, Ph.D. (San Francisco, CA) Wylie G. Tené, APsaA Director of Public Affairs (NY)

Twitter is a social media platform and phone app that launched in 2006. In the past decade it has grown to be the third largest social media site, following Facebook and YouTube. Twitter currently has more than 310 million active users per month. The site allows people to engage in conversations and interact with users through short, 140 characters or less posts called “tweets.” Twitter is a powerful tool for raising interest in and promoting psychoanalysis, but many psychoanalysts have yet to embrace its power. This workshop will serve as a hands-on introduction to Twitter, covering all the basics on how to use the platform, as well as discussing how to use it to elevate interest in psychoanalysis.

Educator’s Symposium: Evolving Child Psychoanalytic Practice Within Local to Global Community Systems

Speakers: Chair: Ann Marie Sacramone, M.S.Ed., L.P. (NY, NY) Presenter: Edward Eismann, Ph.D. (Bronx, NY) Discussant: Neil Altman, Ph.D. (New York, NY)

This symposium, sponsored by the APsaA Schools Committee, co-chaired by John S. Tieman, Ph.D. and Tillie Garfinkel, M.Ed., will consider evolving ideas of social psychoanalytic practice with children in settings ranging from local (classroom, neighborhood, and village) to global community systems. Three analysts will describe child treatment models that depend on the analyst working in concert with the child’s social systems. Tracing change in the child, community and analyst, participants will ponder about a relational response to our current socio-cultural harms. Dr. Eismann will narrate and illustrate in video his 49 year community practice in the South Bronx stemming from Freudian, Adlerian, and social support theory perspectives. Ms. Sacramone will offer case material from a child-in-community practice grounded on infancy research, and self-psychology. Dr. Altman will discuss his observations of communities internationally that developed unique culturally based therapeutic approaches.
